Huge stability issues on the latest version, most of the time I cant even boot without it freezing. I think it's to do with the default OC, my CPU operates at 200-300 mhz above the maximum set.

I've tries wipes and all sorts but it's still not working. It's not the hardware because older versions of this rom and other gingerbread Roms work fine.

For the time being I'm just going to revert to an older version, I'm just posting here because it seems no-one else has reported it (I hope it's not just me).

Thanks to the devs for the great Rom.

EDIT: Similar problems with RC1. I have managed to keep it stable once it's booted by under clocking to 768Mhz although the phone then runs at 920Mhz. Although it does still hang on boot sometimes.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Tried it before, didn't work. Not sure about cm9 though
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
Wich rom did you try it with?
[HTC Desire S] alnmoore:
Just tried and it worked. I copied the file into an unzipped rc2 file then zipped up and re installed. Also copied the Calendar file from rc1 and this worked also.
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
what apps are you referring to?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Tried with rc2. Not sure why it didn't work
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Works for me after copying this to /system/app and reboot. Preview works immediately when camera starts. Photo's still mostly scrambled.
[HTC Desire S] alnmoore:
camera.apk from #1134 and calendar.apk and calendarProvider.apk from the rc1 zip.
[HTC Desire S] llision:
Just us RE to place this apk into system/app and replace the old one. The preview works! However there are some problem with the preview proportion.
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
The previously mentioned camera.apk stated a few posts ago worked a treat for me
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
As a side note I was at Androidland in Melbourne (yeah Thats right Google opened an Android store in Australia first lol) and I was talking yo a friend about the galaxy nexus. And one of the Google staff asked what phone I had.. and said that the desire s will most likely get official ICS within a month or two...

I know right fingers crossed
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Just to warn the fact that, if you use the camera linked earlier by enomist27 (the one from CM9 thread), it'll work BUT...DON'T switch between back/front cameras (that upper right icon) because it'll end in FCs even after clearing app data, deleting it and copying it again, etc. Don't know what's happening but after trying to switch it's not working anymore. Probably reflashing the ROM and putting the APK again will work but I didn't tried
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
I could not make that work even at the first time..pushed it to /system/app cleared data but it wont even start...cleared data but didnt help...restored old camera.apk..any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] woti23:
worked for me just once and only one time. after rebooting camera FC's. re-copy, data clear, dalvik-cache wipe, nothing gets it working again. back to the rc2 camera.
[HTC Desire S] crwblyth:
Not sure if this goes for everyone but the lock screen settings for custom apps reset themselves back to none, so I cannot have custom apps on my lock screen.

Good work though. Thanks for the rom!
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Cant seem to get the camera to work at all, i know its alpha but gutted anyhow
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Maybe you havent seen the thread for a while you need to clear data for Camera app from manage apps then it should open and then after just snapping a pic preview should work...working on mine
[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
It looks like in RC2 I cannot synchronize my agenda. There is no 'agenda synchronize' option in the accountsynch options.

With Beta7 this was still working.

Anyone knows a way to add it?
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
with thanks to alnmoore for fixing this one.

Take camera.apk and cameraprovider.apk from rc1 and push to /system/app
[HTC Desire S] niblettr:
Still wifi signal strength issues

I still can't get a decent signal from about 10 meters away. I put my phone side by side with girlfriends sensation xe and hers gets full speed but link at 11mbits. mine connects at 22mbits but at 0 to 1 bar signal strength. So is there a way to force the wifi at slower link speed say 5 or 11mbits so the the signal strength increases? Is there an app or a zip file that I can fiddle with more wifi settings? I've also noticed an option missing for increasing wifi powered for more performance.(that used to be in even the stock from) thanks.

p.s. the Google GPS patch worked a treat. connected to satalite in under 3 seconds by hanging phone out the bedroom window!

oh, I'm using rc2
[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
Pushed Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from RC1, readded my account. But now I get an synchronization error on com.android.calendar.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
camera preview fix and issues

First of all... I'm glad if my preview fix works and helps people :) Maybe we can improve the camera functions a bit more but let's see..

Issues: When you switch to front cam the app will force close. It will then fc again as soon you restart the app. To solve this just delete data of the camera app from app management. This WILL most probably solve the force close.

Edit: DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING WORKAROUND ON QUATTRO ROM! USERS REPORTED BOOT ISSUES!

Workaround: Download this file and place it under /system/etc then reboot.

The camera app will not fc anymore when switching to front cam. Though you won't see front cam preview either. Just a mirrored picture of the back cam :D

We need new camera drivers to solve this.

If you like the fix... you know what to do :)

PS: I did not test my camera.apk or the media profile fix on the quattro rom so try at your own risk. I just posted here because some quattro users wrote it would work.
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Do replace Calendar.apk only, but stay with RC2's CalendarProvider.apk. This should work.
[HTC Desire S] fdebef:
+1

Did not help deleting of apks even cleaning application data even removing account and new setup.
[HTC Desire S] llision:
I have replaced the camera.apk yesterday, now i am pushing this xml file. Just waiting for better performance~ aha ~ Thanks~
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
The media profiles file you've pointed is 114 kb while my file had only 7kb...anyways, after replacing phone do no start, remains in the boot screen, don't even start the animation (some call this the "white HTC logo screen" but mine is not white so can't say this:)) I have to reflash or restore back-up I think

Edit: Nope...I've connected with QtADB and deleted the file and restored the initial media profiles...as soon as I've deleted the one linked by you, phone starts booting
[HTC Desire S] llision:
After pushing this xml file into system/etc, i restart my DS and it stopped at the white HTC screen... Have to do a new ROM-flash again...

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Same situation for me... and mine is white... lol
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
replace only Calendar.apk, not CalenderProvider. Work fine for me that way!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No...you don't need reflash. Check my edit on the previous post and you'll solve it without reflash or restoring from backup

I've changed mine some time ago and I like it thousands time more...so I won't return to the "white HTC logo screen":D
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
OK. So please DO NOT USE the media profile fix on quattro rom!

PS: the force close on front cam switch is also present in quattro rc2 cam. I've just tested. So just delete data of cam app when you accidentally switched to front cam. It works!

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For me it doesn't If if switch for once to front camera, it seems nothing fix it back. I've tried deleting the apk nd copying again, clear data, with or without reboot in between...nothing helped. As soon as I start camera it's FCing again. Nevermind, I'm not a big camera fan anyways and the only thing that interests me is video call in skype...and that's not possible for now. So..I'll wait :)
[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
Replaced back the RC2 CameraProvider, readded account, but still I have the sync error.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
As I said I've tested again on rc2. If you accidentally switch to front and get fcs just hit menu key on home screen -> manage apps -> all apps -> camera then click force stop and delete app data. From then the cam should be working again. No need to delete the apk. I can reproduce this again and again. No idea what's happening on yours...
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Maybe you can try clearing data of both Cal and Provider, then reboot your phone. If you have operated correctly you should see Calendar instead of com.xxx in Sync settings.
[HTC Desire S] HappyEmu:
Doesn't work here either. Getting FCs no matter what I try, including your procedure.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Did you notice that you both talk about different things? One says camera the other one says calendar... sure you mean the same? ;)

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
How did you install my apk? Did you just replace the original one? I'm almost sure you somehow don't delete data of the correct app. Try to look with titanium if you have more than one camera installed... strange that is...
[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
Where do I find these data reset options? Checked ->manage apps->all->'agenda'->clear data. But did not find any calendar/provider/com.calendar.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
They don't get it, but maybe they get anyway a progress^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Lol I sure have noticed someone replyed camera. But as there is no CameraProvider.apk I believe he was only making a tiny mistake. Are you pretending not realizing this?
[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
Haha OK :D

Somebody that does know how to fix the calendar?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
What? The two are called Calendar and Calendar Storage.
[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
They dont exist. Maybe thats the issue...
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Probably. Have you tried flashing some form of Gapps already? This has solved the issue for me in the past.

Thanks m-deejay. Just tried it and it's definitely faster. Feels very polished
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
thanks mdj. i assume you will let us know when a full wipe will be needed.
[HTC Desire S] Zinken:
Hi, sorry for the noob question:

I'm about to flash ICS for the first time - do I have to worry about hboot or anything or can I just do a full wipe and flash?

I'm currently on CM7.1 with CWM 5.0.2 recovery.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Cheers mdj.

I'm out for the night will update the OP in the morning.
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Just make sure you do a full wipe before flashing and you should be alright. Came myself from Saga3Dv3 and the same CWM, worked fine for me.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Also no need to mess with the hboot
[HTC Desire S] HappyEmu:
Working great! Small thing: I have got two Search Icons in the app drawer: one with the old look and the awesome new one. When I press the search button the new one gets launched, which is great. But I would not mind if the old one got removed.

May I ask which version of GApps is included in this particular build?
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
Question: how do I set the device id in this ROM? My Wifi AP is showing my phone as "android-[hex numbers]".

[HTC Desire S] jjb3:
I did not yet. Where can I find an compatible gapps pack?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
I don't think this rom misses any gapps components. Maybe all you should do is delete the two apks, roboot, reassure the versions are right and then copy them back, set the permissions, then reboot again.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
That's not possible. I've "installed" it with QtADB, that is I've deleted the application on my phone first so there was no camera appl at all, then I copied yours in the same location and after that camera appeared again in the drawer.

To clear data I don't go in Menu - Manage Apps cause I dont have this...I'm using Go Launcher not Trebuchet so there's no Menu - Manage App...I've cleared data by going to Settings - Apps and clear data from there. But that's the same thing. Now I've tried again and the same.
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:

[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
Hi guys, can somebody explain why do we need to use trebuchet launcher? What's wrong with the default one? (I know that trebuchet gives you more options in terms of customization, but I think its choppier perhaps compared to the default one)
[HTC Desire S] admds:
I would recommend using nova launcher over trebuchet. It is super quick with a lot of options.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I've tried nova too, it's pretty nice. Has some extra features too, like custom grid size (4x4, 5x4 etc.). Didn't really notice a difference in tue speed or smoothness of the launcher though.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Thanks. Here's a link for anyone thinking about it. But thanks to vampire36 for pointing it out. I would warn that it says cm9. I'm about to switch to reaper so can't test!

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Nice theme, I don't think there's a problem if it's for CM9...right now CM does not has the Theme Chooser in ICS so it should be like a normal theme. I still prefer the black/blue colors, I love blue
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Don't worry have tested it...

It works awesome...

Saves battery as well :)
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
I would doubt it saves battery on ours as ours is an LCD not an LED typ display ...
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
That would only work on a OLED screen where black pixels are turned off(leading to extremely deep black's ). Each pixel emits its own light as there is no back light. It wouldn't work on a S-LCD screen.
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
adw launcher works smooth - with lot more options

camera flash is broken for me

btw where to find the camera.app in app list? Had to delete the user data with titanium..
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You should look for the camera in the "All" list
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Thanks for elaborating the point i tried to make :)

workaround 4 all involved into 'no-boot just freeze on quattro-kernel' issue

hi,

i flashed the kernel of the cm9alpha-rom for desire s from xda-member nexx.seems to be an proper work-around so far.it doesn't seem to break oc/uv options(from a first glance)

just wipe cache/dalvik/boot-partition and flash the attached zip.

all credits go to Nexx. i just tried if his work does the pleasing things it does at home(-based rom) even 2 strange builds.oh,you are a nasty kernel...

have just realized,that some ran into wifi-problems using this zip.for me wifi works proper for hours now.don't know,gonna take it offline again.

sorry for causing issues in some cases.

[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Oh no! Thanks for the package anyway, i used it to try to fix a different problem I was having with OC'ing.

On that note, anyone else experiencing random freezes and incorrect OC frequencies on any ICS rom using the Quattro kernel? For now I've switched to CM9 even though I prefer quattro because I can only use it when underclocked to 768Mhz to stop freezing and even then it actually runs at 1022Mhz the whole time which causes poor battery life.

I know I've posted this before but it's a few pages back and I got no response last time.

Just had a play with rc2 and i like the rom, lots of eye candy!! Full wipe over Reaper1.3. Great work by the devs to get it to this point.

I need to do the google calendar fix but all my other apps work so far except for Viber (tried both a market install and then a titanium restore) but that seems to have already been picked up here, hope the app dev fixes it soon as I use it daily...

Rockplayer (titanium restore)also force closes but I've just switched to Mobo player instead which seems to have a good rep round here.

Camera works after initial picture taken, just getting some distortion in the top of the photo, as others have mentioned. Have not gone near the front camera button or the camcorder button!!

It still wont mount the sd card? What can I do? Could it be the radio? Thats the only thing that could be different now but not sure.

Couln't do that myself as there was no evidence of sd once booted up. However, problem is solved now.

I booted into ext4 recovery mounted usb, backed up all my files then unmounted usb went to format+delete partitions on sd card whilst still in the ext4 recovery program. (deleting of the ext4 partition(s) is I believe what fixed it)

booted phone back up and voila!

I still have poor wifi signal strength though.

I tried a different kernel (cm9beta_Kernel_by-nexx_desire-s.zip) and that killed the wifi altogether. Wifi would not turn on.
